Please elaborate. Are you running your approvals through a workflow or through flow designer? I assume you are setting group approvals? In that case it will be difficult to do it in the flow itself, since the function of a group approval is to just create the user approvals based on group membership. You could run a query on the approval table, or in the flow designer, to find the approver of the first level and set that record to 'no longer required'. 
Just test this thoroughly that the others still remain on 'requested'.

Mark for the reply to my query mark 

Your assumption is absolutely correct, Iam using flow designer.

That makes it easy: setup your 3rd level approval and immediately after that, do a look up records of the first approval records, that are 'approved' and for each user that approved, look up the 3rd level approval records where that user is the approver and set it to 'no longer required' (with the comment that it is no longer required, because first level approval was given).

Thanks Mark for reply to my query 

Your assumption is absolutely correct, I am using flow designer. currently the flow working, first level and third level approval going to same group that is working fine, only the thing is the person who approved the first level he should not be part of 3rd level approval.
